Executive Privilege:
An example of Executive Privilege is when Richard Nixon kept information about when people broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia. He held this information for his own sake like how article states, “He did direct, authorize or permit the use of information obtained thereby for purposes unrelated to national security, the enforcement of laws, or any other lawful function of his office; and he did direct the concealment of certain records made by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of electronic surveillance”(abc).
Executive Order:
An example of Executive Order is when Nixon was said to be, “Making or causing to be made false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States”(abc). This made it an executive order because the information was issued to be withheld by the president and he was the one who enforced the law on the people of the government/ agents until he was caught.
